@Kaffe@chitter.xyz a lot of them just aren't very good, tbh... but with that said, this stuff is top notch: https://www.seriouseats.com/the-food-lab
i've learned a whole lot from reading the articles they post with the recipes, they go through some of the things they tried that didn't work, talk about why they do things a certain way and all that. really helped me to level up my cooking a whole lot tbh
